Is myopathy a side effect of LORAZEPAM ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of LORAZEPAM patients who developed myopathy.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 48 individuals taking LORAZEPAM reported myopathy to the FDA. A total of 35871 LORAZEPAM drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

FDA Research Report

Introduction This page is designed to help you determine the relationship, if any, between LORAZEPAM and myopathy. In doing so, we compare LORAZEPAM with other drugs that cause myopathy, to help you evaluate whether or not LORAZEPAM causes myopathy. Likewise, this page shows the most highly-reported side effects of LORAZEPAM, so you can see if myopathy ranks among LORAZEPAM's most well-known side effects.
